The health of peri-implant soft tissues is one of the most important aspects necessary for the long-term survival of dental implants. The importance of the peri-implant mucosal region lies in the need to establish a tight seal that isolates the implant and the bone from the oral environment. Study objective is to clinically compare the soft tissue healing, height, and thickness over immediate implants placed in type I sockets sealed by PRF to those sealed by a Cyanoacrylate glue.
the study will be conducted on 16 extraction sockets in humans. Sockets will be randomly divided into two groups: Group I (test) will comprise 8 sockets sealed by PRF after immediate implant placement. Group II: (test) will comprise 8 sockets sealed by cyanoacrylate glue after immediate implant placement

Change in soft tissue healing
Soft tissue healing will be assessed in both groups in reference to the soft tissue healing index according to Landry index Landry index scores Very poor: Tissue color: ≥50% of gingiva red Response to palpation: BleedingGranulation tissue: PresentIncision margin: Not epithelialized, with loss of epithelium beyond incision marginSuppuration: Present Poor: Tissue color: ≥50% of gingiva red Response to palpation: BleedingGranulation tissue: PresentIncision margin: Not epithelialized, with connective tissue exposed Good: Tissue colour: ≥25% and\<50% of gingiva redResponse to palpation: No bleedingGranulation tissue: NoneIncision margin: No connective tissue exposed Very good: Tissue colour: \<25% of gingiva redResponse to palpation: No bleedingGranulation tissue: NoneIncision margin: No connective tissue exposed Excellent: Tissue color: All tissues pinkResponse to palpation: No bleedingGranulation tissue: NoneIncision margin: No connective tissue exposed
Time frame: at 2nd week and 4th week
Change in Mid crestal soft tissue thickness
Mid crestal soft tissue thickness over the immediate implant will be measured using a periodontal probe passing through soft tissue in the intersection midpoint of both buccolingual and mesiodistal dimensions of the socket till cover screw, after 4 weeks postoperatively
Time frame: at baseline and after 4 weeks
change in Mid-buccal soft tissue height
Mid-buccal soft tissue height: will be measured from gingival margin to implant platform, at surgery time and 4 weeks postoperatively
Time frame: at baseline and after 4 weeks
